  1. "Work or school account problem" when Windows 10 starts and at random times thereafter


    I receive this error popup when restarting the machine and at irregular intervals thereafter.


    I have Windows 10, and an o365 subscription.


    When I click on the link to fix the problem, I am presented with a list of 3 accounts which have previously logged on to this machine. One is my own, the other two are accounts have borrowed this machine in the past to access their own accounts.


    *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

    *** Email address is removed for privacy ***

    *** Email address is removed for privacy ***


    These accounts won't use this device again but i see no way to remove them from the list.

    I have checked credential manager and there are no instances of these accounts listed.


    I am unable to manage these other credentials as I do not have contact with the individuals or their organisations


    How can I remove these accounts, or fix the issue?

    :)

    Strange Windows 10 User Account issue.

    Unfortunately I had done those steps numerous reboots, it just, reappears for no good reason. The base account isn't even a Microsoft account, it's a local account.

    I haven't quite tried the built in administrator account on W10, but so far in my experience on my own computer, the built in account seemed to have absolutely no more control than I did on my own.

    It's just strange, I go in, it warns me twice about deleting the account, then it's gone. Reboot, and it's back?

    EDIT: Just to specify, both command line and Netplwiz both say only HIS account exists on the computer, it doesn't list this rogue account. This is what I meant in my first post about the fact that even Windows doesn't seem to believe it exists, HALF the time. *Frown "Work or school account problem" when Windows 10 starts and at random times thereafter :(

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
